Elson looked at the gloomy night in the sky, wrapped his warm cloak slightly, and silently walked towards a hustle and bustle of taverns that projected orange lights not far away.

As Viscount Stern's butler, and a veteran servant who had served the lord for many years, he originally thought that he had completely understood what kind of person his lord really was, and when he needed something.

But tonight's lord made him feel a little strange, the lord who was originally so angry and wanted to get back to the field actually gave up his original plan so easily after receiving the news of the imperial capital, and he also rested in the first area with a lot of heart.

The image of the master who had been with him for more than ten years was very different, which made him panic for no reason, as if the connection between himself and the lord had broken all of a sudden.

In his thoughts, he had already arrived at the door of the tavern unconsciously, and the strange warmth of the turbid air in the room and the noise of pushing glasses and changing lamps suddenly woke him up.

He took a deep breath to calm his mind, gently pushed open the hidden door of the tavern, and immediately found the purpose of his trip.

"Man, what do you order?"

The tavernkeeper quickly caught the new guest, who seemed to be dressed a little fancifully, and immediately asked with a warm smile.

"No, I'm looking for the 'cat demon'. ”

After deliberately lowering his voice, Elson said to his boss.

"What are you looking for a 'cat demon'?" The boss began to look up and down at the guests in front of him with suspicion, but unfortunately he couldn't see any clues, and finally could only say helplessly: "You should know the rules." ”

"Oh, those boring requests, look at this!"

sneered in his heart, Elson didn't care about the bullshit rules set up by the "cat demon" himself, even if the other party really had many very special and powerful abilities, but under the hands of Viscount Stern, he was just a relatively unique cat, and he couldn't make any waves.

Seeing that the guest on the opposite side took out a round object similar to an emblem from his cuffs, the boss's gaze froze for a while, and he stammered: "This ...... This is the ...... of the Viscount's family."

"Shhhhhh

"Ah, that's all right, you're a guest of the Viscount, please come with me. ”

The boss was full of excitement, and his attitude quickly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he directly called the waiter to greet the guests instead, and he walked directly to a corner of the tavern with his back hunched and the butler.

"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to bring anyone to bother me lately?"

Before the two of them could get there, a voice that could not distinguish between a man and a woman sounded from behind them.

"Isn't the man in front?"

As the tavernkeeper's words fell, the shadow that had been in the corner crumbled into nothingness like melting snow and ice, as if nothing had ever existed there.

"It doesn't matter, who is this?"

A tall, thin figure wearing a hooded black robe emerged from behind Elson, asking the tavernkeeper with some dissatisfaction why he was breaking his rules.

"Hey, I don't want to offend this distinguished guest!" the boss immediately raised his hands in fear, and said innocently, "This is a noble man under Viscount Stern." ”

"Viscount Stern?"

Elson immediately felt a sharp dagger-like gaze stab him, but he didn't care, and after letting the boss leave, he swaggered down on the chair next to him, and didn't let the standing "cat demon" sit down.

"What is your enormity looking for me?"

The "cat demon" doesn't sit either, but the pestle stays in place, and he is very impatient to speak, as if he doesn't want to communicate with this kind of person at all.

"There's no rush for now. Elson smiled and pulled out a quaint necklace with several fangs that exuded strange colors from his bosom, "I want you to see this thing before I get down to business, I don't think you'll be unfamiliar with it......"

Before he finished speaking, the necklace in his hand was snatched away by the "cat demon", and a flame of hatred seemed to be about to engulf him.

"I knew ......"

"Cat Demon" muttered a few words, and then lifted Elson, who had no extraordinary strength, from his seat, suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is my brother now?"

"I suppose your attitude towards me now is nothing useful except for a few more wounds on your brother's body. ”

Elson, who was grabbed by the neck, did not panic at all, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, stared directly at the pair of inhuman vertical eyes that emerged from under the hood, and said words in an almost joking tone that made the other party tremble.

After all, the concern for his relatives was still stronger than his anger and willingness, and the "cat demon" didn't last long before putting Elson back in his place, holding the familiar necklace in his hand silently.

"Your brother is doing well now, with food and drink and sound hands and feet, but of course this is all temporary. ”

Elson, who had regained the power to breathe, reclined on a wooden chair and said something worthless and meaningless, so that the "cat demon" who was trying to suppress his anger was about to explode again.

It was only because the other party had mastered his Achilles' heel that the "cat demon" took a deep breath before he pretended to be calm and said: "Someone has already looked for me with this before, and agreed to let my brother leave after completing three things for Lord Viscount." ”

"This is natural, our viscount's guarantee you should be clear......"

"But you're now the fifth person to come over with this!"

Elson, who was still shaking his head and feeling that he had eaten the strong man in front of him to death, was lifted from his seat by the "cat demon" again, and was pushed down on the table without saying a word, and several cracks quickly appeared on the wooden tabletop.

"I just want one guarantee, just one!"

The "cat demon" in the anger still mastered some proportions, and did not let Elson really get hurt, and then received a huge shock from the heart, so that it was convenient for him to negotiate the conditions later.

"What...... What guarantees?"

"Notes!"

A tattered parchment with blood-red paw prints appeared in front of Elson's eyes, and it was written that Viscount Stern must hand over the "cat demon" brother or be cursed.

"What is this?"

Instinctively, Elson asked, the bloody smell of the tattered parchment spreading through the tip of his nose, making him want to vomit but couldn't vomit, only feeling his stomach twitching.

"Blood Oath Pact. ”

"What are the consequences of disobedience?"

The "cat demon" sneered, leaned close to Elson's ear and whispered, "Have you ever seen someone who melted into a pool of blood?"

Soon Elson had an imaginary picture in his mind, so he began to struggle violently, this obviously abnormal contract he would not sign for his lord even if he died.

He must let this alien who has mastered evil arts know the determination of Viscount Stern's loyal servant Elson to defend the interests of his master!
